2025 Spring U8-U18 Advanced Development

2025 Spring Advanced Development Program ("ADP")

Welcome to RUFC’s soccer registration for Spring 2025 ADP, for girls and boys born 2017 (U8) to 2007 (U18). RUFC is excited to offer off-season spring programming to players who are interested in developing their skills in preparation for the main soccer season (September to March).

As RUFC’s competitive stream, the ADP is for experienced soccer players with intermediate to advanced skill. It is not for beginners or players new to soccer - please see the Club's Open Development Program. Players not currently in the ADP (2024-2025 Fall/Winter) can email Tania at taniaw@rufc.ca for further details. Please include player’s date of birth and playing history, it is important to provide your date of birth so you can be provided with the correct information.

Programming runs March 31 to June 15, 2025. As a Canada Soccer designated Quality Soccer Provider, all programming is in accordance with Canada Soccer Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) guidelines. Teams will train two times per week with weekend games in the Cascadia Spring Soccer League. In the Cascadia Spring Soccer League, boys play Saturday and girls play Sunday. Games will take place in Richmond and other cities in the lower mainland. Attendance at both home and away games is expected.

Teams will be formed based on the composition of players who register and may not mirror 2024/2025 Fall-Winter team. RUFC may combine age groups where required. All ADP teams have RUFC Staff Coaches and Parent Coaches.
